The Country Education Partnership is pleased to invite education sectors, key stakeholder groups, principals, education leaders, teachers, school councillors and people interested in education to participate within a Global Dialogue that will involve some of the most respected education experts across the globe exploring the theme:

“Collaborative Practice and School Improvement”.

The Global Dialogue will take the form of a webinar involving a large number of education communities from across at least four countries (Canada, UK, New Zealand and Australia) and can be accessed from wherever you are, provided you have access to reasonable internet connectivity.

It will occur on Wednesday, 2nd November at 8.00am to 10.00am AEST, and is FREE.

The Dialogue will have education leaders such as Steve Munby, Michael Fullan, John Hattie and Vivianne Robinson joining a number of local Case Studies from four countries exploring the Dialogue theme and how it can drive education improvement into the future.

For many years IMTAL has focussed on how staff (programmers, educators, docents, curactors) of cultural institutions can create meaningful interpretation through the use of theatre. Since the development of the Come Alive festival in Canberra, we have to accept that young people can make some pretty good theatre. There is a lot we can learn from young people, but there is also a lot that we can learn about using young people to interpret using Museum Theatre. This year IMTAL Asia Pacific is reaching out to all those who develop interpretation: curators, educators, programmers to workshop together and open the secrets of the success of the Come Alive Festival and much more. Stay tuned at http://www.imtalasiapacific.org or find us on Face Book or ask questions at info@imtalasiapacific.org

What does digital citizenship mean for libraries and cultural institutions?

Although libraries sit beyond the bounds of the formal education sector, they are intrinsically centres of learning where people of all ages can engage with knowledge and ideas, and acquire the literacy skills essential for active participation in society. They intersect with schools, museums, community organisations, research institutions and government.

How can libraries, schools and cultural institutions best equip and empower community members to be confident, capable and engaged citizens? This seminar explores concepts of democracy, transparency, participation, identity, e-government, digital service delivery, and freedom of access to information and resources.

Includes workshop on digital citizenship skills development for young people, teachers, adult learners and the elderly with speakers from CORE Education, libraries and LINC Tasmania.
Who should attend?

The seminar is open to anyone working in school and public libraries, community welfare organisations, public policy and the cultural sector, with an interest both in the philosophy and practical applications of digital citizenship.

Full program coming soon. Subscribe to our newsletter to be notified when it’s available.
